It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Lid immediately ran deeper into the cave, and this time he saw a large number of insects crawling on the ground. Most of those insects were in their infancy, white and fat, but they had more black eyes than spiders.

Densely packed eyes were looking at Frey, and the insects themselves were also crawling towards Frey. The poor third princess of the dragon clan opened her mouth and spit out flames with all her might, but the flames went straight through the insects. Those insects still hooked the ground with countless tiny claws and moved towards Frey.

Alayya stood in the corner, looking unhappy. She wasn't particularly afraid of insects, but the scene was really stomach-churning. Lid stepped forward, mobilized his energy and threw it over there, but the insects still didn't react.

Seeing Lid, Frey rushed behind Lid like a drowning person grabbing a straw. Lid held her hand with one hand and extended the other hand to Alayya. After Alayya held his hand, Lid dragged the two of them out. Frey had no strength in her body and let Lid drag her out to escape.

After running past the mural, Reed looked back and found that the bugs did not catch up with him, and there was only a dark fog behind him.

Frey held Reed's arm in fear and looked back carefully. Reed let go of Alayya's hand, patted her back and comforted her: "It's okay. Your Highness, it's okay now."

Fulei gasped for breath and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

Lid asked softly:

"Your Highness, where did those things come from?"

Fulei looked at Lid, without letting go of her arms, and answered with a trembling voice:

"Crawling out of the darkness... I was just wondering if there would be any bugs in this place, and then suddenly I heard Kou Han's rustling sounds in the darkness that I couldn't see. I looked over there and saw those things rushing towards me... Lid, can you think of a way to drive those guys away?

Reed stopped patting her on the back and asked seriously:

"Your Highness Frey, what you mean is that you first guessed the existence of those bugs, and then those bugs really appeared?" Frey nodded desperately.

Reed looked over there.

Those scary bugs didn't rush out. I wonder if they were waiting there. The little ghost's voice sounded again: "Strange, it seems like we were disconnected again..."

Before he finished speaking, Lid suddenly looked at the mural. There was a scene on the mural where a group of brave warriors came to the dragon, but they killed each other and were completely wiped out. Lid was silent for two seconds and said to Fulei:

"...I think I understand."

Fulei looked at Reed with her watery eyes, and Reed gently touched her head, like an old father coaxing his daughter.

Opening:

"This broken place is divided into two areas, one is real, and the other is non-existent. You can think of it as one part is reality, and the other part is a space that has been corrupted by the Ancestral Dragon of the Abyss. There is no clear boundary between the two, and we won't have any clear feeling when we walk from one side to the other."

Fleur asked:

"You mean the illusion?" Reed shook his head.

If it was an illusion, the little ghost would react, and he would not break the connection with the little ghost. Lid thought for a while and said:

"I think it's much more serious than the illusion. When we walk from reality into illusion, our bodies will remain outside and only our souls will go in. When we come out of illusion, our souls will merge with our bodies again. All the strange things we saw on the road were experienced in illusion. As for when we are in reality, we won't see those terrible things, only our spirits will be affected to a certain extent by the Ancestral Dragon of the Abyss."

Frey's eyes also fell on the mural. She and Lid turned their backs to Alayya and looked at the mural together. Lid continued:

"If you doubt, your doubt will intensify. If you are afraid, your fear will intensify. If you are excited, your excitement will intensify. No matter what kind of emotion you have, it will be magnified here. The words at the end of the road were not left by the void, but shown to us by the Ancestral Dragon of the Abyss. As long as we doubt each other, then under the effect of emotional amplification, we will eventually evolve into killing each other."

Lid smiled and said:

"Luckily we didn't."

Fulei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded:

"I definitely won't doubt you. You're right, fortunately we didn't..." Before she finished speaking, she and Reed turned around at the same time.

Alayya's sword brushed Lid's temple and pierced into the mural in front of him.

Lid looked at her in disbelief, and Alayya covered half of her face with one hand and looked at Lid, but her eyes were no longer the old blue, and had begun to flash a faint red light.

58. Please give me some advice, Master

Reed looked at Alayya in front of him and could feel a sense of strangeness from her.

He is very familiar with Alaiya. It is better to say that no one in the world knows Alaiya better than him, and it may even include Alaiya herself. Although the heart of a girl is always unpredictable, Lid's relationship with Alaiya has often gone through a lot without any progress, but Lid still feels that he knows Alaiya very well.

Reed knew very well why she laughed, why she was sad, and why she pursed her lips and pretended that nothing was wrong.

Lid knew what she liked to eat, when she would kick off the quilt at night, and when she would unconsciously enter her vulnerable period like a kitten. But looking at Alaiya now, Lid felt a little strange.

The Abyss Dragon corrupted the real world and created an illusory territory. Ordinary people cannot distinguish the boundaries between them and will inevitably be tortured by all kinds of monsters and demons. It is difficult to find a safe area in the valley, but time passes normally in the real world and it is impossible to stay in a safe house forever. You can only keep looking for the next safe house, but every

There are no safety points clearly stated, and it requires countless attempts.

However, Lid has the little ghost, which is like an extra hint. Lid has made a contract with the little ghost, and the little ghost temporarily lives in Lid's body in the form of a living organ. Once Lid's soul is separated from his body, he and the little ghost will naturally be disconnected from each other, so as long as Lid can contact the little ghost, this is the present world.

But at the moment, Reid hoped that what he saw was an illusion.

Alayya drew her sword, took a step back, and made a sword flower with one hand.

Frey looked at Alayya with some doubts, and asked Lid: "Do you want my help?"

Lid shook his head:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, this is my family matter. If possible, Your Highness, please step aside for a moment."

Frey didn't seem to think this was a serious matter. After all, in her eyes, Alayya was not important. She could just wipe it off. On the contrary, she didn't plan to stay too far away from Lid. To be honest, the bugs in the depths might still be there. When she thought of the densely packed black round eyes on the bugs, Frey felt numb all over.

But seeing that Lid was serious, Frey let go of Lid's hand and leaned to the side. Lid looked at Alaiya, chuckled, and asked:

"Why, you have reached the ninth level and want to learn from me?"

Since breaking through in the prison, Alayya's realm has been improving, and now it has reached the level of ninth-level perfection. The next level is the tenth level, and there is only a fine line between the two. For some people, this line is a shallow puddle that can be crossed at any time, but for some people, this line is a vast ocean that can never be crossed in a lifetime.

"Alaiya" looked at Lid, her eyes were somewhat confused:

"Master......?"

Reed said nothing, just looked at her quietly.

Alayya put down the hand that was covering her cheek and used her sword to support herself from falling. Lid looked at her, as if he could see another soul through her eyes.

Alayya's tone was somewhat uncertain:

"I came to kill the young master....At that time..."

Lid leaned against the mural behind him and felt around for a while, but he had neither cigarettes nor alcohol on him. Lid sighed, smiled and said to her: "Don't worry, think about it slowly."

Alaiya nodded, leaving Frey beside her in bewilderment.

But now it is a person who is in deep thought,

They were waiting patiently. Lid looked at Alaiya, and Alaiya looked at the sword in her hand and repeated what she had just said several times:

"I'm here to kill the young master. I'm here to kill the young master, I'm..."

This mechanical repetition would not strengthen her will. Alayya looked at the sword in her hand and fell into a state of confusion. Lid walked forward, lifted the hair in front of her forehead, and said softly:

"You're here to kill me, and then what?"

Alayya continued:

"I can't remember clearly... I have some vague memories, like a dream. I dreamed that I was walking on the clouds, and someone told me to kill the young master. At that time, I didn't know the young master, so I came to Yunyang and wanted to do it to the young master. Later, I... I can't remember clearly. My head is full of things about the young master. I can't remember who they are, but their voices have been buzzing in my ears. It seems that if I don't kill the young master, someone I know will be killed by them..."

Alayya's body trembled.

She raised her head and looked at Reed. There was a little more red in her eyes, but she still did not attack again. She just looked at Reed in pain, with light red tears constantly flowing out of the corners of her eyes.

She said to Reed:

"I don't remember who they were or who they wanted to kill... I just felt terrified. I didn't appear in Yunyang by chance at that time. I came to kill the young master. But for some reason, my meridians were all broken, and it was the young master who saved me. But am I really worthy of being saved by the young master? If I continue to live, will there be more people who will suffer because of me?"

Lid held her hand, helped her hold the sword tighter, and then said:

"Someone asked you to kill me, and you couldn't disobey him. But after so many years, you don't want to kill me. But if you don't kill me, you will always be in this contradictory and painful state, right?"

Alayya shook her head and said softly:

"I'm fine, Master. Just like what you said, maybe it's just that my emotions have been magnified. I just need to get out of here. Lid said solemnly:

"I won't gamble on your future. Now that we have discovered this problem, let's find a way to solve it. Come on, hold the sword tightly. I have taught you the way of the sword for several years. Qingyun gave you half of the sword energy, and Garberd gave you half of the sword heart. Now take this sword and fight with me. Let me see how much you have improved over the years."

Alayya's breathing became heavier. She clenched the sword in her hand and looked at Lid. Lid did not take the sword, but just raised his hand casually, making a gesture of invitation. Fulei said loudly at the side:

"Are you stupid? Just stand there and let her beat you? Don't forget that you finally saved your life. I won't let you die so easily! If she really dares to kill you, I will kill her first. What kind of person is she? I saw her accompany you to the Dragon Clan, and I thought she was loyal to you, but I didn't expect that she would turn against you."

Lid smiled at Fulei and replied:

"Your Highness, Frey, does not understand."

Fleur replied unhappily:

"You understand, you understand best, okay? Then I don't care, just love yourself to death." Reed looked at Alayya, who looked more painful than before.

After all, here, any negative emotion will be infinitely magnified. Alaiya opened her mouth, clenched her sword, and the red light in her eyes became brighter. The look reflected in her eyes finally had a bit of farewell.

She said:

"Please give me some advice, Master."

As the words fell, the evil dragon's low sneer sounded in the air again.

59. Confession

In Reed's view, alienation between people often originates from just a moment.

At that moment, you did nothing, and the rift widened unknowingly. At some point, you felt that you should save the relationship, but you found that the speed of blocking could not keep up with the speed of the relationship breaking down, and in the end, you would go your separate ways. He had experienced it in his previous life, so naturally he was wary in this life.

Alayya is the most important person to him, and this has never changed.

Rather than letting her negative emotions continue to accumulate, it is better to solve the problem from the source from the beginning. This is also in line with Lid's personality of liking to go all in.

Alaiya held the sword in one hand, the tip of the sword pointed at Lid, and the next moment she took a step forward lightly and nimbly, and although she stepped on the solid ground, the ground was rippling like water. This showed that her understanding of the way of the sword had improved a lot, and the sword energy was no longer just a means of attack for her, but like an invisible hand that could help her do anything.

For example, he accelerated instantly and stabbed the long sword straight into Lid's shoulder.

Lid did not hide, he looked at Alaiya quietly, because he could see that Alaiya's sword had the shadows of him, Qingyun and Garberd, but also full of unfamiliarity that he was not familiar with. It was like playing Go, Alaiya made a set move at the beginning, but then a piece landed on Tianyuan, not playing according to the routine.

Reed raised his hand to block the sword, but this was just the beginning.

Alaiya launched seven swords in four seconds, attacking Lid's seven vital points. Lid blocked six of the swords, and one of them cut his arm.

When the blood fell to the ground, Lid let out a breath and made up his mind.

He realized that Alayya's previous realm of cultivation was probably not low, and that she had mostly practiced swordsmanship that Lid had never seen before. Now it seems to be true, this swordsmanship is complex and changeable,

It seems to be disorganized, but it actually contains mysteries.

"The Age of Gods Swordsmanship..."

As Reed was concentrating on watching Alaya's swordsmanship, Frey beside him also sighed in surprise. Reed glanced at her, and Frey explained:

"The sword that Dong Li practices originates from the swordsmanship of the Age of Gods. But it is not complete. On the contrary, it is not as sophisticated as the one she uses..." Reed retracted his gaze, raised his hand and hit Alaiya's wrist, forcibly blocking her next sword.

Strangely enough, Alaiya's sword was a long sword, but at this moment it was as unpredictable as a soft sword. Her sword was like a poisonous snake wrapped around Lid's arm, and Lid failed to shake it off several times. As Alaiya attacked with sword after sword, the mural behind Lid gradually changed beyond recognition. Especially the scene on the mural where the dragon-slaying team turned against each other, which was cut into countless marks by Alaiya's sword energy, was full of irony.

Alayya's sword is complex and varied, but Reed's martial arts are not limited to the sword.

Alaya's sword became very fast, and Lid became even faster than her. Although the fight between the two could not be called earth-shattering, it made Frey exclaim several times. The reason is simple. Most of the dragons practice martial arts with strength rather than skills. Just imagine that they are born with the ability to burn mountains and seas with a single breath, and their scales and claws are invulnerable to swords and spears. Naturally, they are unwilling to be patient and learn martial arts.

In fact, even if they are willing to learn, there is basically no way. That is, the core bloodline of the dragon clan still has some swordsmanship of the Age of Gods.

But they are just some fragments.

In recent years, some martial arts imported from humans have become more popular, because the swordsmanship of the Age of Gods is extremely difficult to learn. Except for extremely talented dragons like Dong Li, ordinary dragons cannot understand it.

Now Frey is like a warrior with infinite strength, who can easily kill Reed and Alayya, but the confrontation between Reed and Alayya gave her a great shock in another way.

She even slightly revised her view of humans in her heart. She had often heard the Dragon King talk about the various great qualities of humans, but she had never experienced them personally.

It was at this moment that she truly realized that the reason why the human race had continued to prosper after thousands of years was not just because of the national defense formation. Their civilization was truly reflected in every aspect.

But Frey changed her mind and realized that even this race that had been constantly honing its martial arts was now facing a catastrophe.

Although their civilization far surpassed most races, their own weakness and constant internal strife still made them weak. Even a race as powerful as the demons would decline in the melee of the Four Heavenly Kings, let alone humans.

Reed and Alayya naturally didn't care what Frey next to them was thinking, and their fight continued.

Lid felt a sense of familiarity when he fought with Alaiya, and this familiarity made him a little dazed. When he adopted Alaiya that year, Alaiya was still very short, covered in dirt, and was a wild girl that everyone disliked.

But at that time, Alayya was loyal to him. At the beginning, all her meridians were broken and her martial arts skills were basically zero. Even so, when she encountered a vicious dog when she went out, Alayya would still rush to Lid like a fool. She was bitten on the arm by the vicious dog and cried in pain. She turned around and said to Lid, "Young master, run away."

So much time has passed in a flash.

Over the years, Lid had helped Alaya to heal her meridians little by little, and Alaya had always been by Lid's side. During the time when Lid was being ostracized, she had never felt the slightest dislike for him, and when countless more popular young men in Yunyang extended olive branches to her, she had never thought of leaving.

During that time, it was not an exaggeration for the two of them to say that they depended on each other for survival. Although at that time, Li De just didn't want to fight.

Now when Alaya draws her sword, every move still has the shadow of what Lid taught her. Even the profound swordsmanship of the Age of Gods has a touch of the mundane. The Chosen God Linglan once said that she had seen Alaya in the realm of the old gods. At that time, Alaya seemed to have an extraordinary status. But Lid could not see that kind of arrogance in Alaya's sword. After all, the masters who taught her sword, whether Lid, Qingyun or Galberd, were all thoroughly human.

The joys and sorrows of mankind were all melted into her sword. Even if it was replaced with the skin of the swordsmanship of the Age of Gods, the core could not be concealed. Lid successively broke her 72 moves, adding four scars in total.
